Individuals may use their Quest Card to purchase such food products as fresh or canned fruit and vegetables, milk, cheese, butter, bread, cereal, meat, rice, pasta, and for plants and seeds to grow food for your household to eat. Individuals interested in FoodShare participation can explore their eligibility and/or apply by visiting the state-sponsored website at: http://access/wisconsin.gov.
